Manchester United spent only £6.5m to bring Germany World Cup winner Bastian Schweinsteiger to Old Trafford this summer, according to a statement released by the midfielder's first club TSV 1860 Rosenheim.
Schweinsteiger left Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in July to join United and team up with manager Louis van Gaal for the second time in his career, having previously worked under him during the Dutchman's spell in charge at the Allianz Arena.
The fee was widely reported to be £15m, but it would appear United paid less than half of that amount to bring Schweinsteiger to Manchester.
